Zymotic Diseases.
The number of deaths in the parish and the Asylums Board and other Hospitals is 86.
In 1893 the number was 142. In 1894 the number was 126. In 1895 the number was 102.
In 1896 the number was 154. In 1897 the number was 131.
All the cases of Measles were complicated with Bronchitis, Pneumonia, or BronchoPneumonia.
In my opinion these various forms of lung disease were the true causes of
death.

Smallpox, none; Scarlet Fever, ten; Enteric Fever, one; Typhus Fever, none;
Puerperal Fever, two; Continued Fever, none; Relapsing Fever, none; Diphtheria, eight;
